After watching last nights game v Leeds & the Toronto game last week there's a number of changes needed if Leigh want to reach the top 4.

Firstly Hutchinson needs to be sidelined, his defence is shocking & it was evident Leeds targeted him last night. He lacks pace, doesn't offer any threat & his kicking game is very poor (for example, the attacking kick last week v Toronto to which the winger caught possession, ran 70 metres & Toronto won the game from) . Therefore, for me Hall & Reynolds should be the halfbacks.


As we seen when Hall played 6 he offered more of an attacking threat & linked up very well with Bodene Thompson & it was obvious that Thompson has been wanting someone to offer the distribution that Hall offered him. As we seen Thompson could run effective lines & was outstanding when Hall was supplying him with the right passes.

Secondly, Peter Matatuia should be sidelined. Before his recent move to Toronto we seen how effective he was at full back & now in the past two games hes suddenly being sent off. Therefore, that tells you his mind set is focused elsewhere & for that reason he should be sidelined.


Lastly, for me Leigh's forwards are very poor both in defence & their go forward. For me, they're getting dominated in contact far to easy. If Leigh don't address these issues immediately they can say goodbye to the middle 8's.

Peter? Totally agree. A massive blow, no doubt about it.

Dawson? He has been lucky to have played so many games IMO, given the options. I have never been his biggest fan. Pin pointed by the opposition successfully.

I am more than looking forward to seeing Ricky Bailey, if selected, seize his opportunity.

Agree about Dawson but he is a fully fit player sat in the stand and not available for many weeks. Always a potential problem as the season is at the a vital stage. Regardless I still think the lads can get us to the 8s

Wingers are easily replaceable. All they have to do these days, is be able to do an 'acrobatic dive' in the corner when scoring a try.
